off to the moon with her monkey friend!
we were packing for a snowboarding trip and couldn't resist putting one of our helmets on her.
Just the basics- computer, printer, and tablet (on top of the printer). My dream work space come true!
Seattle's Space Needle that houses an open air observation area as well as a covered one plus a restaurant that rotates. For a modest fee the views of the city, bay and mountains are outstanding. Built in 1962 for the Worlds Fair during the peek of the space age.
Taken from near our motel a couple of blocks east of the Needle.

Space marine bikes, using the dark angels three pack. I know the Salamanders don't really have biker squads, but I really wanted to paint up some bikes. Check out my blog at chioxin-wannabeartist.blogspot.com/2011/05/smooth-riding.... for more info on how I did it!
At Kennedy Space Center in Florida Space shuttle Endeavour, now attached to Shuttle Carrier Aircraft 905, is pushed back from the Mate-Demate device at the Shuttle Landing Facility.
As Saturn's equinox continues to approach, the moon Pan casts a slightly
longer shadow on the A ring.
See PIA11652 to see an earlier image of a shorter shadow cast by Pan (28
kilometers, or 17 miles across). The novel illumination geometry created
as Saturn approaches its August 2009 equinox allows moons orbiting in or
near the plane of Saturn's equatorial rings to cast shadows onto the
rings. These scenes are possible only during the few months before and
after Saturn's equinox, which occurs only once in about 15 Earth years. To
learn more about this special time and to see movies of moons' shadows
moving across the rings, see PIA11651 and PIA11660.
Three stars are visible through the rings.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 51
degrees above the ringplane. The image was taken in visible light with the
Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on June 28, 2009. The view was
acquired at a distance of approximately 1.4 million kilometers (870,000
miles) from Pan and at a Sun-Pan-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 80 degrees.
Image scale is 8 kilometers (5 miles) per pixel.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European
Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages
the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The
Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and
assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space
Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.

The Space Shuttle Endeavour on the 1st morning of it's 4 day journey through Los Angeles. One of four retired orbiters it will be displayed at the California Science Center. Shuttle Enterprise will be in New York, the Shuttle Discovery in Virgina, and the Shuttle Atlantis in Florida.
A panoramic view of the Space Shuttle Enterprise (OV-101). This was the first shuttle built and was primarily used for approach and landing tests (ALT). NASA intended to retrofit the Enterprise for space flight after the construction of the shuttle Columbia, but design changes during Columbia's construction made this prohibitively expensive.
Vice President Mike Pence delivers remarks at the sixth meeting of the National Space Council, Tuesday, Aug. 20, 2019 at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Va. Chaired by the Vice President, the council's role is to advise the President regarding national space policy and strategy, and review the nation's long-range goals for space activities.

SUNSET SPACE
The space here is yours
Sunset space , sacred sky
Colours of heaven on earth
Rocks bathed by sun warmth
Waves ripple in turning tide
Summer and Autumn mix
Golden and silver lights
Mystical hour before sun dies
Memory of a perfect day.

BELL AH-1S COBRA
The AH-1 Cobra traces its history to 1965 when Bell Helicopter began development of the design as a private venture. The Cobra is based on the famous UH-1 Huey transport helicopter, and despite the great differences in their appearance they actually have over 80 percent of their parts in common. Production began in 1966 and the Cobra was soon in combat over Vietnam. Modernized versions of the Cobra continue in use in the U.S. Army and Marine Corps as well as with several foreign militaries.
This aircraft was built as an AH-1G by Bell Helicopter and delivered to the United States Army February, 1972.
It's flight career spanned six US Army assignments in Germany, one to NASA, and three with the Arizona National Guard. In August of 1976, it was upgraded to AH-1S standards.
It remains in the markings it had while assigned to the Western Army National Guard Aviation Training Site circa 1996.

I'm dubbing the location the "Space Mountain plateau" for no good reason other than it's a wide open flat space in the shadow of Space Mountain.
The Dunwich Dynamo is a turn-up-and-go challenging free-entry overnight 120 mile bicycle ride on-tarmac from London Fields in Hackney to the lonely Suffolk beach at Dunwich. It’s not a race. It’s unsupported. There’s no van following. It’s a long way. We have to get from Leicester to London via train first...

Maria van der Hoeven, former Dutch Minister of Education, Culture and Science talks at the "Space for Inspiration – International Space Station and beyond” event at the Science Museum, London, 14-15 September 2016. ESA, industry and experts from many disciplines look at how human spaceflight has changed our daily lives, and what the future holds.
